This appointment just shows what a grifting, lying hypocritical shitshow the Republican party has become...

Interestingly, the MAGA wing of the House of Representatives as characterized by Jim Jordan, et. al, are not pleased with this news. It is nearly all I need to know about this appointment.

Already there is an outcry that a special counsel must be appointed from outside the DOJ. Even though there was no fucking outcry from them when John Durham was appointed from inside the DOJ by Bill Barr.

Most people for the rule of law were mostly happy when a special prosecutor was appointed to investigate Trump. Republicans seem to be upset that a special prosecutor has been named to investigate Hunter Biden.

Republicans want to get some dirt, any dirt, on Joe Biden, but their rejection of any and all sources of authority (government, courts, journalists, etc.) means they don’t have any forum in which to demonstrate (lie about) his guilt. They know Joe did something wrong, and they seem mad that we don’t all just take their fucking word for it. They’re surely bothered by the likelihood of a genuine investigation coming up with the "particular results they are not looking for.
What’s funny is that many of the Republicans now claiming this is some attempt at a coverup (wut) were the same people who demanded a special counsel a few months back.

They are not serious people. This is, as always, an exercise where they pretend to be serious and the media inexplicably pretends to believe them.

Then charge him, trial him, jail him, whatever. Just get on with it.
Highly unlikely he'll get jail time for any of that. Even regular people almost never get jail time for that stuff.

Don't forget the only reason we're here is a funny trump judge did something that almost never happens because...well it was a trump appointed judge.

Doh!!!!

Republicans Furious After DOJ Gave Them What They Wanted

Over 30 Republicans signed a letter last fall calling for David Weiss to be appointed to the role of special counsel. ...


Some people's kids just can't be pleased even when they get what they want.

That is because the "Special Counsel" is not special at all. Its the same damn person who gave Hunter the slap on wrist sweatheart deal in the first place!

This guy is going to keep running down the statute of limitations on Hunters tax crimes and Ukraine money laundering schemes so in effect nothing will happen.

Here is what he will say 2 years from now: "Surprise, surprise, surprise! Joe and Hunter are innocent!!" (because we can longer charge them)

1)...even though Hunter was trying to plead guilty
2)...even though there were no indictments
3)...even though that by granting Hunter immunity along with his slap on wrist would allow them to find him implicit of receiving ill gotten gains with no consequences because of the immunity deal.

It is complete laugh and farce of justice.

Its different. The Trump thing and Hunter thing are not the same. Whatever Hunter did or may have done or is accused of doing it can not be compared to what Donald Trump has done, is doing, is still wanting to do.

But those republicans want to treat this as some sort of equal, and as some sort of future trade-deal. They will say, we'll give you Hunter for Trump. You let Trump off the hook and we'll let Hunter off the hook. That is what this is all about. Those slimy bastards.


By the way...
When will the AG go after this guy for his part in the insurrection???
Come-on Merrick, we don't have all day.

So you are cool with the Hunter being "on the take" and getting away with it?
I fully support Hunter Biden being impeached and removed from any Federal office he may hold. Because we absolutely should not tolerate corruption in public office.

But as you know Hunter doesn’t hold any office. And this whole thing is just a desperate GOP play to divert from Trump’s dozens of indictments for actual corruption before, during, and after his single term as President.

If you are going after Hunter Biden Clarence Thomas is Hunter without the government job that can effect the lives of people. Jared Kushner is Hunter on steroids.

Open up the investigations on

Hunter Biden
Clarence Thomas /SCOTUS
Jared Kushner 2B from Saudis


Also did we forget Trump steering all that government business to his properties and overcharging.

The indictment for the gun violations has come down.
3 counts. The indictment is available to read at the link below.

"It’s a federal crime to lie on that ATF form or to possess a firearm as a drug user. (Hunter Biden possessed the gun for about 11 days in 2018.)"

Not sure if this relates or not, but to me it indicates a possible dismissal.

Pubs: We don't want restrictions on gun ownership, unless it is Hunter Biden.

I will have a big laugh if this thing gets dismissed based on an unconstitutional law.

Lol

This will get settled before it goes to trial, or the prosecution will lose at trial.

First, prove the lie. As far as I know, it's Hunter's own words. Do you trust a drug addict to tell the truth?

Also if we're indicting Hunter Biden for buying a gun while addicted to drugs why isn't Don Jr. indicted too? That man is basically a walking pile of cocaine.
But its the lying on the application not the possession while on drugs that was the issue.
